Oversize knits in low gauge are the way to go

Oversized” is gaining attention as a seasonal dressing style. When incorporating oversized knitwear, it is recommended to use low gauge knitwear that gives a three-dimensional silhouette.

The expressive knitting, however, will surely give you a distinctive look just by wearing the knit.

Oversized low-gauge knits are cool but ” heavy, stretchy, and expensive “…

Editor Tachibana

Low-gauge knits use a large amount of yarn to create a powerful thickness in the knitted fabric. It is not uncommon for some models to use more than twice the weight of yarn as high gauge knits. Therefore, although low-gauge knitwear is good looking, it is an item that inevitably causes concern because “it is heavy and tiring to wear,” “the weight of the knitwear stretches the fabric and changes its shape when stored on hangers,” and “models using high quality wool or cotton raw materials are too expensive.”

Solving those low-gauge knit problems!The 'WOOSTER' series has become the mainstay of oversized low-gauge knitwear!

GENTLEMAN PROJECTS’ popular “WOOSTER” knitwear series was developed to solve the above mentioned problems of low-gauge knitwear by focusing on “comfort with a low-gauge presence but not too heavy” and “high shape retention so that it is no exaggeration to say that the knitwear will not lose its shape for over 10 years. WOOSTER” is a popular knit series by GENTLEMAN PROJECTS. The powerful expression of this low-gauge knit in a simple one-sided knit and the unique presence achieved by the moderate oversizing add a stylish impression to your coordinate.

The WOOSTER series knitwear is divided into six categories!

Attraction of WOOSTER knitwear (1)

All WOOSTER series knitwear is tuned to a “mod erately oversized silhouette”. The theme is to create a basic yet modern look, and the dimensions and balance are adjusted by taking into account the elasticity of the knit and paying attention to details such as the slope of the shoulders and the height of the sleeve caps. We hope you enjoy the exquisite sense of balance that cannot be achieved by simply wearing an oversized knit.

WOOSTER Knit Appeal (2)

The WOOSTER series knitwear is knitted by blending two special types of yarn to create a brand original knitted fabric The WOOSTER series knitwear is made of a special blend of two types of yarns to achieve an urban look and comfortable fit. First of all, the main yarn is “C Wave,” which is made by twisting ultra-fine count cotton yarns together and then combining them into a single high-twist yarn to create a unique wave shape. AMOSSA” polyester yarn is blended in to give the fabric a chewy texture and a strong stretch that enhances its ability to hold its shape. This combination gives the knit “a sharp, bouncy look, but with a new sensation of firmness and elasticity. We hope you will experience this slightly maniacal attention to detail, which you cannot experience with other low-gauge knits.

While low-gauge knitwear made with cotton yarns can create a powerful and heavy look to your coordinate, it can also feel heavy and tiring to wear. To eliminate the weight of low-gauge knits, there is an option to choose knits that mainly use synthetic fiber yarns such as acrylic and polyester, but there are many people who say, “I don’t like the texture of synthetic fibers. The “WOOSTER” series knitwear is made primarily of cotton, but blended with AMOSSA, a functional polyester yarn, to reduce weight. While maintaining the heavy look of a cotton low-gauge knit, it is comfortable to wear without feeling as heavy as it looks.
